On the plus side: helpful staff, nicely shaded, relatively private sites, good value. However, many sites are not level and interior roads are dirt and pot-holed. Also the signage for the park entrance and interior signage are terrible. Good wifi on our Verizon card. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A little expensive for this part, since nothing to do here; but relax... It is on the Edisto River, which is why we came anyway - to canoe. Which we did using the livery across the way to shuttle us 10 miles up river ($30 total, with YOUR own canoe) or you can rent theirs. Our site was a pull thru. All areas are well shaded. If you go - take ALL your supplies - nearest town is 10 miles away. This CG is about 10 miles east of I-95 and very easy to get too. Restrooms were clean. Small 1/2 mile hiking trail. Not much for kids to do except for a small play area up near ranger station. We would go again if we were just canoeing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautifully shaded sites on river, quiet, access drives a little narrow in places. Nice area will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our second trip to Shumans and better than the first. The campground is very quiet, well kept and well situated for day trips to Charleston (45 minutes) and Savannah (75 minutes). There are no bath/toilet facilities so you must be self contained. The water is of excellent quality (a very deep well) and runs 28 t0 40 lbs pressure. 2 things to keep in mind...there are no facilities on site to amuse children and the electricity is top quality , never dropping below 125 volts in my experience so startup of the AC is never a problem. We have stayed there on and off all winter and have found the area rich in history (many museums and displays in the area) and wildlife (ie the Biedler Forest Audubon display near Harleyville and the Colleton State Park across the street)) The Shumans are wonderful generous hosts, live on site, and represent true southern hospitality at its best. An added benefit is a propane filling station on site. The only reason I can't give it a "10" is the lack of wireless internet access (they are considering that for later 2009) and the aforementioned 10 mile drive to Walterboro or St. George for groceries. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had site #3. It was a pull thru with FHU. It had a cloth ground cover to park on which I had never seen before. Sites would be tight if park were full. Only self contained units can stay here as there are no baths or showers to use. Owners run business from their kitchen table in the house. It is about 4 miles off I 95 and makes a good place to stop enroute. Walmart at next exit south of park. Park was quiet even though we were close to road in the front. Owners nice and friendly as well as seasonal residents. Both gave us vegetables from the garden. No cable and TV reception was bad, probably because there were many old tall trees in park. Park is across street from Colleton SP. There is nothing to do in park. They had a very old and broken swing set and not much else. If you have kids make sure you have something to entertain them with if staying here. Owner does sell propane on premises. We camped here in a Motorhome.
